October 23, 200323 yr I would kill to go to a World Series game even if I am getting soaked. Yep! This family of 6 flew in from Portland, Maine and attended Game 3 -- in the 13th row of Section 443 -- and stayed until the last raindrop, despite being naive enough to believe the weather forecast of "NO rain in sight". No ponchos, most of us in shorts -- our clothes were still wet when we left for the airport at 6:30AM on Wednesday! We were drenched as well as frustrated, not only because the Marlins lost, but also because we suffered the entire night with a loud-mouthed, rude, crude Marlins fan sitting directly behind us. All night long he picked fights with every Yankee fan who walked by (and there were lots, since we were also seated near an entrance to the section and a railing blocked our view of the batter's box -- can't people sit down and watch the game???!?) and yelled crude comments repeatedly to every Yankee player who came up-to-bat. I was not happy that my 14-yr-old daughter, as well as many little children around us, were exposed to this jerk. After getting a shower of beer as well as rain, I finally said something to him - which quieted him down for about a half-inning or so. Despite being a Yankee/Marlins fan, I went in rooting for the Marlins with no hesitation. After being subjected to this creep for only a couple innings, I have to admit that I rooted for the Yankees (totally silently and unobtrusively, of course) for the rest of the night. He had no clue I was a Yankees fan until I told him that he had single-handedly lost the team one fan, at least that night. (I'm sure that made a difference to him ) Anyway, YES, you guys need a new stadium -- a retractable dome would be awesome. The location was great for us -- we were 5 miles away at a Best Western, and the stadium was easy to get to -- but I am sure it must be inconvenient for those of you who live in the area. And, despite how lousy we felt during the game, we wouldn't have missed it for the world -- it was awesome to be at the WS and see these guys in the flesh -- wish we could have stayed for all the games... Back rooting for the Marlins.......last night's game was awesome! GO FISH!
October 23, 200323 yr Don't they want to build it on BiCentennial Park? I personally do not agree with them building over it since it is a historical landmark, but I guess we'll see. Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Historical? No way! The only reason Dade won't let the ballpark built there is because it would make many homeless people more homeless! That would be an incredible spot for the stadium, as will the Miami Arena, and Miami River. . . . but those idiot politicians who even DISCUSSED a stadium at the Orange Bowl

October 23, 200323 yr I hope they build the stadium near South Beach because alot of the fans will then come out even more! Can you imagine going to the games and then stopping by the fabulous clubs and restaurants afterward? And all those models everywhere? Any thoughts on where else they should put the new stadium? GO MARLINS! Aw, man. Diehard, I even went and defended you on your other thread. Quit makin yo'self look like a PLUM fool, boy!
